Free Haagen-Dazs ice cream May 18

Get a scoop of delicious, rich, and creamy Haagen-Dazs ice cream for free on May 18 from 4-8 p.m. at Haagen-Dazs shops as part of a celebration of the vaunted ice cream chain's 50th birthday.

You can pick one of three flavor-flaves for your free scoop: chocolate, coffee, or vanilla. Those happen to be the chain's original flavors when it officially launched in 1960. Haagen-Dazs chocolate is definitely one of my top three flavors, along with strawberry and mint.

When I turn 50 I want ice cream at my birthday party, too! Find a 257 Haagen-Dazs shop near you.

Caveats: double check the shop near you is participating.
